Why it matters
A service is cheaperthan a breakdown.
Regular servicing keeps an older car reliable in the Townsville heat and catches small problems before they turn into big bills.
Reliability you can count on
Fresh oil, clean filters and a tuned engine keep an older car starting and running right, even through a North Queensland summer.
Catch problems early
A full inspection finds worn brakes, perished hoses and leaks before they leave you stranded or cost you a major repair.
Protect value and economy
A well-kept engine uses less fuel and lasts longer, and a documented service history holds your resale price.

As a rule, every 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first. Older or high-kilometre cars and hard-working 4WDs are better off serviced more often. Not sure? Call us with your car and how you use it.
A basic or general service is a full inspection and oil, filter and fluid refresh for cars off the manufacturer schedule, usually older or out-of-warranty vehicles. A log book service follows the handbook to the letter to keep a new-car warranty valid.
Yes. Petrol and diesel, 2WD and 4WD, Australian and imports. From Toyota, Ford and Holden to Mazda and Hyundai, plus the common Hilux, Ranger and LandCruiser workhorses around Townsville.
It depends on the car and what it needs. We quote up front before any work and never add extras without your okay. Call 0457 816 890 with your rego for a price.
